cma-vmware

Introduction

cma-vmware is an implementation of the cluster-manager-api. cluster-manager-api is a facade in front of Kubernetes (k8s), Helm, and other tools used to build and manage k8s clusters in both on-prem and cloud enviroments (e.g. AWS, Azure, etc.) cma-vmware is an implementation for on-prem environments and is based on cluster-api-provider-ssh.

Quickstart

This guide assumes you have already deployed cluster-api-provider-ssh according to its instructions.

First install tiller and cert-manager if they have not been already:

export KUBECONFIG=<path/to/kubeconfig>
kubectl create clusterrolebinding tiller-cluster-rule --clusterrole=cluster-admin --serviceaccount=kube-system:tiller
helm init --service-account tiller
helm install --tiller-namespace=kube-system --name cert-manager --namespace kube-system stable/cert-manager

Then install cma-vmware:

helm install --tiller-namespace=kube-system --name cma-vmware --namespace cma-vmware

cma-vmware contains a built-in GUI which can be useful in determining the structure of the API and submitting requests. See the helm values file and documentation for your k8s environment to determine how to access it.

Development

To download, build, and run cma-vmware locally

On OSX:

go get github.com/samsung-cnct/cma-vmware
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/samsung-cnct/cma-vmware
make -f build/Makefile cmavmw-bin-darwin
./cma-vmware

On Linux, replace the make command above with this one:

make -f build/Makefile cmavmw-bin-linux-amd64

To submit requests for testing purposes

Either use the GUI:

open http://127.0.0.1:9020/swagger-ui/#/

Use curl:

curl 127.0.0.1:9020/api/v1/cluster -X POST -d @dewdrops/cma.json
curl 127.0.0.1:9020/api/v1/cluster?name=dewdrops -X DELETE

Or use another http client.

To change the API and regenerate golang bindings

vi api/api.proto
make -f build/Makefile generators
